Sculpted Cakes by Doolang Design

A lifelong love of baking led me into sculpting the cakes, below. This first one was made in the early 80s for my Aunts Shower. We were like brother and sister growing up so I really wanted to do something special for her. Tulips were her favorite flower and also the theme for her shower. So I thought can I make a Tulip Cake 2 feet by 3 feet tall?

Intertwined Dessert Island Palm Trees

Over a decade elapsed before I was to design and make another Sculpted Cake. This one was made even more extraordinary with Caramel Beach, Chocolate Trunk and Mint Palm Fronds. I wrote in the sand with my finger to give it that day at the beach touch. The trees were 5 feet tall and 3 feet wide.

Strawberry Poppy Truffle Cake

This cake is pure decadence containing 2 dozen eggs, a gallon of milk, 3 or 4 pounds of chocolate, a couple pounds of butter and 2 pounds of strawberries. The filling was a mixture of creme brulee pudding and truffle filling I made from scratch with Ghiradelli chocolate. It is 18 inches across and 6 inches deep. The petals are sculpted into opposing curves.

Red Convertible Cake

This was for my Gramma's 80th birthday. She repeatedly had me promise I was going to get her a red convertible when I grew up. I finally came through for this member of the Red Hat Society. The car was made of five layers and stood 8 inches tall by 22 inches long by 10 inches wide.
